#Computer-Aided Design

This is a place to talk about anything related to CAD. Share CAD related news, ask questions about CAD software, ask how to get into the business or show off your latest 3D model.

Computer-Aided Design, or just CAD, describes the use of computer software to assist in the creation, modification, analysis or optimization of a design. CAD software is used for creating 3D models, technical drawings and documentation for manufacturing of a product, construction of a building or civil works.

Rules:

Do your own homework. Asking for help is okay, asking for someone to do it is not.
No spam. This includes self promotion.
No NSFW Material. Not only is this in poor taste for this community but this is a work related subreddit for many people.
